Answer 1

The Answer is Hidden in These clues ! Pls dont search the Internet for the answers...


1) clue for the First Question → Convinced that a Republican president meant there would be laws passed to abolish slavery, the Southern states began to leave the Union. South Carolina seceded on December 20, 1860. Six others followed. These states joined in February 1861 to form the Confederate States of America. A convention chose Jefferson Davis of Mississippi as president of the Confederacy. President Buchanan did nothing to stop the Southern states. Lincoln didn't take office until March.


2) clue for the second question → The issue arose again when California applied for statehood as a free state in 1849. Southerners thought it should be a slave state since it mostly lay south of the Missouri Compromise line. Many Southerners threatened to pull their states from the Union. Henry Clay of Kentucky offered a compromise: admit California as a state but enact a stricter law for punishing runaway slaves. Clay won support from long-time foe Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, but John C. Calhoun of South Carolina led Southern opposition. When the compromise failed to pass, Senator Stephen Douglas of Illinois took charge. He won passage by submitting each part of the compromise as a separate bill. After eight months of debate, the Compromise of 1850 became law. The issue arose again when California applied for statehood as a free state in 1849.
